A Note on Chaucer's Women.
- Published
- Notes and Queries 203 (1958): 283-84.
- Description
- Explores similarities of Chaucer's description of women's hair (KnT 1.1048-50, PF 267-68, and TC 5.808-12) and Apuleius's "Metamorphoses" II.10, suggesting a similar aesthetic rather than a source relationship, and noting that all resonate with Virgil's "Aeneid" 1.318-20.
